Alexandr Solzhenitsyn 1974 Poem by Gerald Kithinji
Alexandr Solzhenitsyn 1974
Since my ship set sail
I have touched many a shore
And sighted many an island
I have seen many a battlefield
And bones of dead heroes
And skulls of dead innocents
You who did not witness
And you who sunk my ship
Have a resurrected guide
Who has loved justice
And hated nihilism
And like Gregory VII
May die in exile!
1974
